Question

Consider the following sets of quantum numbers.
$$n$$ $$l$$ $$m$$ $$s$$
(i) 3 0 0 $$ + \frac{1}{2}$$
(ii) 2 2 1 $$ + \frac{1}{2}$$
(iii) 4 3 −2 $$ - \frac{1}{2}$$
(iv) 1 0 −1 $$ - \frac{1}{2}$$
(v) 3 2 3 $$ + \frac{1}{2}$$

Which of the following sets of quantum number is not possible?

A. (ii), (iii) and (iv)
B. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
C. (ii), (iv) and (v)
D. (i) and (iii)  
Answer :   (i) and (iii)
Solution :
The value of $$l$$ varies from 0 to $$(n - 1)$$  and the value of $$m$$ varies from $$- l$$  to $$+l$$  through zero.
The value of $$'s'\,\, \pm \,\,\frac{1}{2}$$  which signifies the spin of electron. The correct sets of quantum number are following:
$$n$$ $$l$$ $$m$$ $$s$$
(ii) 2 1 1 $$ - \frac{1}{2}$$
(iv) 1 0 0 $$ - \frac{1}{2}$$
(v) 3 2 2 $$ + \frac{1}{2}$$
